cused of emitting to challenge to a duel his po-
litical opponent in the Reichstag election. who,
during the campaign, aspersed his honor as an
officer. Major Hinze was retired from the
army on q pension. He was a Progressst Dep
uty in the late 'Reichstag. He opposed the sep
tsnate and favored the short-service system. He
became intensely unpopular among his former
brother officers, who denounced him, during the
electoral struggle, as unfit to bear an army title
or to wear orders. He prosecuted his slanderer
in a court OF law and obtained a successful yer.
Dict whereupon the staff officers of the guards
corps appointed a court of honor, whose decree

Emperor has confirmed the degradation of

code applying equally to soldiers and civilians
which forbids challenging to a duel under a pen

ion puts the stamp of the highest authority on

the law forbidding it. HINES friends charge

BERLIN June 25-The prisoners Koechlin
and Blech. who were recently convicted OF
treason in belonging to the French Patriotic
League, were to-day transferred from Leipsic to
Maedeburg fortress, and their associates, Shift
ferman and Trap. to Gratz, where they will re-
main until their periods of detention expire
The government has heard nothing of the al
legged application of France for their release or
the communication of their sentence, and no APP
preach at negotiations concerning snem
has been made in any form. Ii the
unwse step as to ask the remission OF
their sentences, Prince Bismark would GER
tainly have ingnored the application. The opin-
ion throughout Germany is that the prisoners
have been leniently treated, and may yet have
their sentences modified, but their only chance
OF obtaining communication is in cessation OF
the Patriotic League agitation. and in their
making direct appeal for mercy to the Emperor.
The tone of the French press in demanding the
release OF Koechlin on the ground that he is
French citizen and officer. and was authorized
by the German government to reside in Alsace-
Lorraine together with threats of retaliation on
German subjects in France. tends to the melting
and increase of the seventies against French
macontents in Alsace- Lorraine.

for high treason, committed at the instigatlon OF
Schnabele klein's illness in prison was the
official excuse for the postponement OF his trial,
but the fact is, Prince Bismarck was desirous OF

spy system until the position of the Rouvier
Cabinet became more secure. The outbreak or
Chauvinism in France has precipitated the trial,
which will begin July 4, in open court Every
facility will be afforded the representatives OF
the French and all the foreign press. This trial
will be a great deal more interesting than those
of the Alsatians at Leipsic recently. as the
prosecution is less intent upon the conviction of
Klein and his accomplices titan upon the expos
ure of the tricks of the French War Office to
procure information as to the condition of the
fortresses and military plans of Germany.

FREDERICK WILLIAM.

The Recovery of the German Grown Prince

Special to the Indianapolis journal
LONDON, june 25.--The recovery of the Crown
Prince Frederick William is now almost certain.
There is no doubt. however, that there is still a
good deal of alarm over his condition among
those mem hers of the German court who are not
in Dr. Mackeugie's secrets or who do not believe
the Doctors bulletins. The revival OF the Gu
rous story of the prophecy found at tho Lehning
Monastery explains. to certain extent. the
fears entertained throughout Germany OF fatal
termination of the Grown Princes malady
This prophecy, discovered a number of years

will be the most powerful among the nations;

hundred years old, which is exceedingly improo-
able be is not likely TO oe succeeded by an inca
pablo Prince William. the Grown Princes son
and heir, is a singulary vigorous and ambitious
Young man, and the result of his fathers health
and his accession to his grandrathers
throne would undoubtedly be that the
present German foreign policy would be
thoroughly maintained. The crown Prince on
the other hand, is popularity believed. perhaps
wrongly, to have ideas of government differing
somewhat widely from those of Prince Bismarck
and of the old Emperor. though 1t is more likely
that his policy would present few and unim-
portant points of difference from that now
pursued. The one element of doubt Is as TO the
influence which the Crown Princess-the
Empress of the future--is likely to exercise in
her husbands councils. The chances are. how
ever that in the main the German empire would
continue to move in the old lines, little relaxed,
perhaps through the growth of socialism and of
liberal ideas A military despotism is not easily
modified in a popular direction without entirely
losing it's character and becoming democracy.

pire held together by forces any the less central
lied than those which now hold sway at the

GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.

The Precarious Tenure by Which Germany
Holds Europe at It's Beck.
Special to the Indianapolis journal
LONDON, June 2o-Germanys position at the
head of affairs in diplomatic Europe is still OF
the most precarious character. and the revival
of the French military system and the continued
impeachment between France and fsussia are
threatening that supremacy more seriously as
time goes on. Observers like Sir Charles
Dixie seem to think that this compact
fabric of Germany may be subjected to
rude shocks from without. which may weaken
and finally destroy 1t. Nobody, however. yet
knows what Russia-now, as she has been at all
times during the century, the terror of European
diplomatss-can do when she deliberately throws
her sword into the scale The weapon welded
by the colossus of the North may be as powerful
as his enemies fear; but there is yet the chance
that in a fight for the control of European poll
tics Germany may prove strong. FIVE or ten
years hence. as she is now.

WASHINGTON, June 25-An examination OF

one who thought out similar invention before.
